Paralysis

This morning I tried to use a lucid dreaming app on phone , with earphones on. It worked like this: I set the time, and after 30 minutes It will start to play a soundtrack that reminds me that I am dreaming , I supposed to be dreaming when this soundtrack start. It was harder to fall asleep with earphones. So I was toss and turn and toss and turn and toss and turn and toss and turn and toss and turn and toss and turn and toss and turn and ... Then I lost my lucidity , had some hypnagogic imagnary , and then paralysis started to kick in slowly , the noise became louder , and louder , and my body became numb and more numb. Then When the noise achieved its highest point , I felt like if gravity turned off And that my body became nothing, I was floating in my room. I tried to AP, but I knew it failed and that its just a dream. I moved out of bed and falled off from bed. I face facing the ground with some pieces of clothes. I stuck here like that , my legs were broken weirdly, buit I did not felt it . Then I used my imagination to roll out and so I did now I am standing , all normal. I done a hand rc My hands just dissapeared so I was sure. I was going outside , my mom told me that she is going so I said "me too". Then Just before I leaved the dream falled apart and I woke up just a minute before the app started the soundtrack . Not a big success, but after months I finally had one.
